• Volvo has made a series of revisions to its FL cab, including improved suspension, new colour schemes and revised interior trim.
Ride quality has been improved by fitting uprated cab suspension dampers and reducing cab suspension travel to improve roll stiffness by 25%.
A heated air suspension driver's seat is fitted as standard except on tipper models. The new seat, similar to that fitted in the F cab, gives an extra 30mm of rearward travel and has a position memory device.
Volvo now offers 63 standard colours on the FL, using water based paints to reduce solvent emissions during paint spraying. The wider choice should reduce the need for livery overspraying.
Other external changes include a one-piece front bumper similar to that on the F cab, and tinted windows as standard.
New colours are also offered inside the cab, with improved seat and bunker upholstery and thicker curtains. A new vinyl engine cover is said to improve sound insulation.
Other standard features include a new roof hatch moulding and a side window visor. Tippers get more vinyl trim, extending to the side panels and roof lining.
